To Be

I got this fragrance as a birthday present by my grandma. She knew I was easy to please when it comes to fragrances so she just bought it and hoped I would like it. Firstly, I LOVE the bottle. It is absolutely amazing. The skull-shaped glass is surprisingly easy to handle. I have the biggest possible bottle - 125 ml, however, it looks smaller than I imagined. I compared it with my 'Believe' by B. S. bottle, which is 100 ml and the Believe one looks bigger. 'To be'takes up a little space in my collection which is great The scent was not really impressing at first. The first spray was citrusy and generic. However, in a few minutes, it turned in to beautiful lavender with a hint of pepper. This is the most prominent note of the scent. The citrus is quite soft and stays 'in the background'. I wanted to mention that the sprayer is the finest one I have ever owned. It sprays small amounts of the product and reminds me of the vintage bottles which have that pump attached to them. For this reason, I strongly recommend that you spray 2-3 times when you first try it. I spray more than I usually do whenever I use it so more product gets applied to my skin. The longevity is great for the price. It lasts a good 4-5 hours. Its projection is moderate to soft, so the perfume is perfect if you work in an office or any small space. I reckon that it is suitable for any season, however I will have to try it as soon as the weather warms up. Overall, it is a simple, but inoffensive and pleasant fragrance which I really like. ---------- Bottle: 10/10 Scent: 7.5/10 Longevity: 7/10 Sillage: 6/10

I bought this for my husband after growing sick of his Versace Eros scent that can be much too overpowering for everyday wear. My husband is a no-frills guy who works in the trades and doesn't really see the value in spending too much on scents (opposite of myself) so I was glad to find something for $20 that would satisfy his needs. I was actually standing in Shoppers Drug Mart and pulled up Fragrantica when I saw this scent on the shelf for $19.99 to check out the notes before I purchased. I was intrigued by the notes in To Be and thought this would be a safe buy. To my surprise I actually really like this scent - really, really like this scent. Although it does not smell as "expensive" or "complex" as other designer mens' frags that I have smelled in passing, this is a safe everyday scent that satisfies the sexy/fresh category. This scent is also kind of sweet with the amber accord, which I love. My favorite men's fragrances are spicy and this definitely has a bit of spice to it. It's a really great buy for $20 - I can't stop smelling him. You know it's a winner when it makes you feel some type of way when you smell it on your man, if you know what I mean.

A dry aquatic that many owners will find growing appreciation for the more they wear it. "To Be" reminds me of a more youthful/fruity version of Narciso Rodriguez For Him. It's not a ground breaker, but it's not "run of the mill" either. "To Be" wins respect with me, and I enjoy it's watery and powdery tug of war that keeps those around me guessing just what the hell kind of scent I'm wearing this time. The thing I like most about this one is the cool feeling it gives me. It's classified as a Spring scent, but I enjoy wearing it in Summer too. It makes me feel as if I'm wading in a fresh water creek, riddled with wet rocks just outside of a forrest filled with heavy trees, ferns and patchouli, as citrus trees on the bank invite you to enter a dank, ozonic green oasis where light begins to fad away and cooler air seperates itself from the sunny and warm shoreline. A nice addition to my small collection.

Definitely pick this one up if you see it at a retailer for a good price. "To Be" is unique and it's own animal. It's not trying to clone anything from my experience of collecting so far. I've had a bottle for over 3 years now and it's been money well spent. I like to wear it in the warm weather while driving on the highway with my windows rolled down as I'm listening to 80's music. A very ozonic and breezy scent with a green and rocky miniral water type feel to it. Almost smells like a cold river near a cave. If you're over 35 and hate aquatics, it may be worth seeking this one out. "To Be" has a little more to offer, in my opinion than the typical "run of the mill" Spring/Summer offerings on the market today. Unique.

a lot of mixed reviews here, but i say give this a go. its fruity and aromatic with decent sillage and longevity ,,,reminds me of l'homme. definitely a keeper and im gonna give this a lot of wear this spring summer and fall. you'll see this in shops at the moment , so go give it a test before you buy.. Re edit.. I really do love this stuff, it's an amber monster and a really lovely amber that switches on after about two hours of wear. I've picked up the big bottle as its so cheap at the moment,,don't miss out on this one guys, its all about the amber.. Re-review.I was wrong about this smelling like L'homme. This smells identical to Thallium, but with a amber drydown. Layering the two is fantastic..

For 20 Australian dollars this is a pretty good little cologne. To Be by Police is definitely not a ground breaking scent but a good everyday wear that i find myself reaching for quite often, during the spring and summer. The scent profile is clean, conforting soapy and aromatic with a hint of pepper, it lasts for about 5-6 hours if i over spray. Again it's good for the price and worth checking out unless your a total niche snob lol

I love this perfume which smells very good. It has a masculine odor and class at a time. It often happens that the perfumes for men give me headache because they feel too strong but it is not the case of this one. I bought it a few years ago to my boyfriend and it is his perfume since. I advise you men, women love it ;)

I imagine myself wearing this during summer 2018 and I like the idea. It's a very nice aquatic scent, and I'll buy it again. The bottle is great too.. The only thing I'm worried about is the sillage.. Although this scent is not a beast, it would be a good idea to have it in your collection.

It is a teenagers must have! Compliment getting, cheap and very versatile. I also find I pretty distinctive and could differentiate it out of all other blue fragrances. Although the bottle looks a bit tacky somehow I like it quiet a bit. Guys just give it a try you won't regret it

I think this is nice its really pleasant and not offending or strong like joop but you will notice it on the wearer. You do not want to be the same as everyone as else & wear the same edt's. I would quite confiently wear this in most situations.

I love this fragrance.This smells very fresh and spicy A nice aquatic scent, it is a good fragrance. I would 100% pay for this. - 8/10 really nice :]

It's good ,why do plp hate it??!!?

Good scent, fruity and slightly woody. I haven't felt anything "spicy" in it. It is just another typical "blue" cologne. At first sight, it reminded me of 2 colognes I know, which in my opinion are better: Nautica Blue, which I already had 2 bottles, and Quartz Silver, which is more modern and gave me more quality, since it has better projection and lasting power. I venture to say that they "were created at the same orphanage, but were adopted by different families" ...LOL. And the bottle is part of the visual identity of the entire line, in which the brand decided to combine their fragrances to the skull, a symbol of rebellion and transgression, which has been reinterpreted by young designers and gaining space in the fashion world nowadays.

My parents had bought this perfume in 2014 . One random day I was searching through my storage and found the empty bottle . Sudden surge of all the nostalgia so I just bought it without a second thought First of all the bottle quality has degraded The older bottle has a metal ‘police’ logo whereas the new one has a plastic one and also it has a metal skull pin About the smell I doesn’t smell the way it was back in 2014 as I remember ( I asked my dad and he also told I smells a bit different) I smell the violet leaf more as compared to the old one Other than that it’s okish not as good back then

This starts out as a 'synthetic-nostril-burner' with what I can only describe as a 'detergent-like' top end. But.......if you can hang on about 30 minutes or so it does calm down. Yes it continues to be synthetic but pleasantly sweet and aromatic(spicy). It is a bit too fruity-sweet for my nose so I guess it is aimed more towards the teens and 20's crowd but not bad for an everyday juice and it is reasonably priced these days too. PS I tried "To Be The King" today which I find better than regular "To Be"......Must try "To Be The Illusionist" too....so many fragrances so little time. :o)

This one looks like magic: As you spray it, the scent comes really really soft, making you even think that the reviews you read about it were wrong, talking about nice sillage and projection. Then, during the drydown, the magic starts, and the fragrance begins to grow. I liked the smell, it's a fresh-sweet, and not that fruity-sweet type. Honestly I can't fell the woody notes it's supposed to have, but it pleases me, nonetheless. About the bottle, it's beautiful and interesting, but it's dangerous, as you may let it fall if you're handling it with wet hands.

Ive had this fragrance a long time, and it used to be my signature. As a man I love it. Some women like it too, but others think it is too strong. It really depends on the person, but for the price and the incredible bottle design, it is a steal. The scent is unique enough to stand on its own, so try it out if you are unsure. Also a small bottle is cheap enough for a blind-buy. The flanker To Be King lasts longer in my opinion, and is slightly more spicy.

Underrated in my opinion. Sure it's pretty linear. From the opening to the dry down, it's the same. The performance is decent for a freshie. Easily gets 6+hours and the projections isn't that bad either. It's inoffensive shower gel type scent but something about this keeps pulling me back in to this over the other freshies out there/ in my collection. Not a fan of the bottle but it's about the juice inside. The atomiser is also pathetic.

So..I felt this had some similar characteristics to Acqua di Gio Profumo. So I sprayed 1/2 of me with To Be and half with ADGP they are not exactly alike but similar and the To Be out preformed. This has a weird scent curve. It goes from citrus and pepper to a more woody sweet and at the end of the curve it comes back with the pepper note reappearing. I could wear this year round and day or night. I’m 65 and it smells good.

HUBBA HUBBBA Sex bomb fragrance Smells very synthetic and chemically but gets compliments as it is evidently the greatest thing ever formulated. This is the only fragrance you will EVER need so good so great top quality Any time of year tbh notes are hard to discern at times but smells alright Price 10/10 Longevity 4-5/10 Sillage 5/10 Cant go too wrong, not like its a waste of money as its so cheap 4/10
